Description
During our community meeting at [Orchard Core](https://github.com/OrchardCMS/OrchardCore) on the topic of integrating this action (https://github.com/OrchardCMS/OrchardCore/issues/14585) it came up that it would be nice to have stats about new contributors as well.
I.e., in an issue like https://github.com/OrchardCMS/OrchardCore/issues/15073, we'd also have a "Number of items opened by new contributors" line in the aggregated metrics table. A new contributor can be defined as somebody who GitHub indicates as a first-time contributor like this:
I'm not sure how this is calculated. In any case, this would be a user who didn't yet author a contribution of that type (e.g., didn't open an issue before and thus they're a new contributor for issues) or didn't create any issues/discussions/PRs before in the project (whichever is easier to compute).
What do you think?
